The St. Cecilia Altarpiece is an oil painting by Italian High Renaissance painter Raphael. Completed in his later years, around 1516-1517, the painting depicts Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians and Church music, listening to a choir of angels in the company of St. Paul, St. John the Evangelist, St. Augustine and Mary Magdalene. Commissioned for a church in Bologna, the painting now hangs there in the Pinacoteca Nazionale, or National Painting Gallery. According to Vasari the musical instruments strewn about Cecilia's feet were not painted by Raphael, but by his student, Giovanni da Udine.[1]

His claim to be the Earl of Warwick in 1487 threatened the newly established reign of King Henry VII (reigned 1485-1509). Simnel became the figurehead of a Yorkist rebellion organised by John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln. The rebellion was crushed in 1487. Simnel was pardoned and was thereafter employed by the Royal household as a scullion, and, later, as a falconer.

The Beauties of Venice. Scala dei Giganti, or Giant's staircase. This is a noble marble staircase leading to the Palace of the Doges, deriving its name from the colossal statues of Mars and Neptune at the top. It was on the top of these steps, and between those statues, that the doges used to be crowned in the olden times; and then, having heard mass in the cathedral close by, and made the tour of the Piazza, the new Doge retired to his future abode within. It was at the top of these steps, also, that the aged Doge Foscari fainted with anguish when forced to abandon a palace which for more than thirty years had been his home [B] Passing through the archway we enter the courtyard, and get a more general view of it, and the cupolas of St. Mark's.

One peculiarity is the leaning Campanile, or Bell-tower, which we notice in the centre of the view. The tower certainly looks dangerous ; however, as the centre of gravity yet lies within the base, it is still considered quite safe from falling over. There are many leaning towers all over Italy, the one at Pisa being the most celebrated [B] but whether they are produced accidentally or purposely does not appear to have been decided.

It is a view of a group of fish-sellers taken in the ' Pescheria,' or fish market, adjoining the vegetable market. The Pescheria during the morning always presents a lively scene, and especially so on Fridays, which is market day. Fish of every description may here be purchased, and to many visitors it is of some interest to see what a remarkable variety of fish is exposed for sale on the stalls close by. This, like the vegetable market, is a favourite rendezvous of artists, who are sure to find something novel and artistic [B] amongst the vendors of fish, who frequent this quarter at all times of the day.

No. 1.-View of Venice from a Balloon.-We can hardly help wondering what Venice must have been in the glorious days of the Republic, when her fleets commanded the seas, and commerce brought her immense wealth-that wealth which is now all concentrated art-wealth of churches, in picture-gantries, and in her stately palaces now suffering from the ravages of time. As seen from a great height the view of Venice. is more curious than beautiful; however, we get a good idea of the configuration of the city [B] with its network of canals, its palaces, and its numerous craft flitting about in every direction.

The courtyard is embraced on our right, left, and behind by the Doge's Palace, and is faced by the colonnade through which we have just passed. Here we get a good idea of its interesting grouping of those Byzantine cupolas towering above the cathedral. The courtyard was begun at the close of the fifteenth century, but only partially completed. Its form is not symmetrical, owing to the previous existence of surrounding buildings°' In the courtyard are two bronze founts dating from 1566 and 1559 [B] magnificently decorated in relief with the figures and ornamental designs, and in remarkably fine preservation.

Formerly fresh water used to be obtained at great expense and bad quality from the mainland, and kept in cisterns ; it is now obtained by a large number of the inhabitants from Artesian:-wells, a number of which, scattered about the city, were sunk in 1847 at the expense of the municipality. These wells are opened by the authorities twice each day, and then there is quite a rush of those who wish to draw the water, especially women and girls, who, after awaiting, their turn, quickly lower a small copper pail by means of a piece of rope they bring with them, haul it up, and hasten away to their home. The reservoirs are not very deep, being only about twenty feet, or thereabouts; and it is somewhat remarkable to find springs of clear limpid water thus rising, as it were, from the midst of the sea.

Fruits and vegetables of every description in season, as well as beautiful flowers, both cut and growing, may be purchased in this neighbourhood at a cheap rate.

Here we get a very good idea of Venetian life, and being one of the chief thoroughfares, it is always a busy spot. Sailors of all nations, from the vessels which lie in the vicinity, gondoliers, numerous idlers, and vendors in cooling drinks and small wares, are always to be found lounging about here, or congregated in the cafes adjoining. This is also the rendezvous of gondolas and gondoliers. The marble steps we see leading to the top of the bridge are common to all such bridges spanning the canals of Venice [B] From the middle of this bridge we get the best view of our next.

Most of the houses rise immediately from the canals, sometimes they are separated from them by a narrow street, or ' calle,'' such as we see in the view before us, these streets being paved with broad slabs of stone, sometimes with brick or asphalte [B] The view being instantaneous gives us a good idea of the life pervading the city, which is now becoming one of the greatest seaports of the Adriatic.

After serving in the Mahdist War and then the response to the Boxer Rebellion, he commanded the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron at the Battle of Jutland in 1916, a tactically indecisive engagement after which his aggressive approach was contrasted with the caution of his commander Admiral Sir John Jellicoe. He is remembered for his comment at Jutland that 'There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today', after two of his ships exploded. Later in the war he succeeded Jellicoe as Commander in Chief of the Grand Fleet, in which capacity he received the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet at the end of the war.

Due to South Africa's domestic policies at the time, Black South Africans were not allowed to bear arms and were instead involved in supporting roles.

After the declaration of war by the British Empire, Smuts founded the African Defence Force.

Dazzle camouflage, also known as razzle dazzle (in the U.S.) or dazzle painting, was a family of ship camouflage used extensively in World War I, and to a lesser extent in World War II and afterwards. Credited to the British marine artist Norman Wilkinson, though with a rejected prior claim by the zoologist John Graham Kerr, it consisted of complex patterns of geometric shapes in contrasting colours, interrupting and intersecting each other. Unlike other forms of camouflage, the intention of dazzle is not to conceal but to make it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed, and heading. Norman Wilkinson explained in 1919 that he had intended dazzle primarily to mislead the enemy about a ship's course and so to take up a poor firing position.[a]

Admiral of the Fleet John Rushworth Jellicoe, 1st Earl Jellicoe, GCB, OM, GCVO, SGM, DL (5 December 1859 - 20 November 1935) was a Royal Navy officer. He fought in the Anglo-Egyptian War and the Boxer Rebellion and commanded the Grand Fleet at the Battle of Jutland in May 1916 during the First World War. His handling of the fleet at that battle was controversial. Jellicoe made no serious mistakes and the German High Seas Fleet retreated to port, at a time when defeat would have been catastrophic for Britain. But the British public was disappointed that the Royal Navy had not won a victory on the scale of the Battle of Trafalgar. Jellicoe later served as First Sea Lord, overseeing the expansion of the Naval Staff at the Admiralty and the introduction of convoys, but was relieved at the end of 1917. He also served as the Governor-General of New Zealand in the early 1920s.
